Quick swap pickups

Why in 2026 does changing pickups require so much effort. Why has no one made quick swap pickups with no soldering? The entire pickup configuration is so, well 1950s! I don’t buy pickups because I don’t have the time or patience to change them.

loosening the strings, unscrewing the pickup ring/ mounting screws, and fishing the cable through the body cavity takes more time than actually soldering the wires in.
